PLoS ONE, 2012 Steroid metabolism is important in various species. The accumulation of androgen metabolite, androstenone, in pig adipose tissue is negatively associated with pork flavor, odour and makes the meat unfit for human consumption.

Androstenone Effects on Horses [PDF]
How can androstenone, a pheromone from boars, influence the behavior of horses? Horses communicate through olfactory chemical signals, generally called pheromones.

RNA deep sequencing reveals novel candidate genes and polymorphisms in boar testis and liver tissues with divergent androstenone levels. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Boar taint is an unpleasant smell and taste of pork meat derived from some entire male pigs. The main causes of boar taint are the two compounds androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) and skatole (3-methylindole).

Feed interventions and skatole deposition [PDF]
, 2012 Skatole produced in the large intestine of the pig and the testicular steroid androstenone are the main substances contributing to boar tainted meat from entire male pigs.

Animal, 2008 The present study investigated the presence of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (G > T) at base −8 upstream of ATG in 5′ untranslated region of cytochrome b5 (CYB5A) gene in Swedish pig populations and evaluated the significance of this polymorphism for ...

Batrachopolyenes: Volatile Norsteroids from Femoral Scent Glands of Frogs
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 7, February 10, 2025.A new family of volatile steroidal natural products, the batrachopolyenes, have been isolated and identified from torrent frogs. A total synthesis established their structure. These norsteroids contain a unique contracted A‐ring and unusual functionalization across the structural core, which were installed along a divergent total synthetic sequence ...

Animal, 2015 To investigate the extent to which the level of androstenone and skatole decreases with a decrease in live weight and/or age at slaughter of entire male pigs produced under organic standards, 1174 entire male pigs were raised in parallel in five organic ...

Impact of Androstenone on Leash Pulling and Jumping Up in Dogs
Animals, 2016 Dogs are relinquished to shelters due to behavioral problems, such as leash pulling and jumping up. Interomones are chemical cues produced by one species that elicit a response in a different species.

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT An advanced theory based on statistical physics was applied to microscopically investigate androstenone adsorption and its relationship with olfactory perception in chimpanzees and gorillas. For this purpose, dose–response curves of androstenone on olfactory receptors of chimpanzee OR7D4 and gorilla OR7D4 were analyzed by statistical physics ...

Animal, 2011 Boar taint, an off-odor and an off-flavor in the meat from some uncastrated male pigs, is due to high levels of the testicular steroid hormone, androstenone, and the indole, skatole.
